    悔しい夜の帰り道 | Japanese Listening Podcast (N3-N2)

    プロのミュージシャンをやめて何年も経つのに、初めて行ったセッションバーで 「悔しい」と思ってしまった話です。 自分ではもうプライドを捨てたつもりでいました。でも捨てられていなかった。 その夜、雨の東京を駅まで小走りで帰りながら、楽しかった気持ちと悔しい気持ちが 同時に出てきました。 「悔しい」という感情は、悪くないんじゃないか。 大人になると減っていくこの感情について、一人で36分話しています。 後半では、このチャンネルをこれからどうしていくかについても少し話しました。 --- After years away from professional music, I went to a jam session bar in Tokyo for the first time. Everyone was warm and welcoming. I played Beatles songs with strangers and had a great time. And on the way home, I felt frustrated. I thought I had let go of my pride as a musician. I hadn't. This is a 36-minute solo episode about frustration, and why I think it might not be a bad feeling to have. Especially when you are learning a language.

    One Story, Two Ways: Casual and Polite Japanese (ft. Shun)

    Hear the same story twice. Once with a close friend, once with someone from work. This time Shun joins me, and we tell two real stories in casual Japanese first, then in polite Japanese. The first one is about a friend whose marriage is falling apart. The second one is about the time my eye hurt for a week, and what the doctor found. The casual version has zero control. This is how we actually talk with a close friend. You don't need to catch every word. Notice how the vocabulary and the grammar change, and also what we choose to say. With a friend you can just say "dasa" (that's lame). With a coworker you say "shinpai desu ne" (that sounds worrying). 同じ話を、二つの話し方ではなします。一つは仲のいい友だちと、もう一つは職場の人とです。 今回はShunさんといっしょに、二つのストーリーをカジュアルな日本語とていねいな日本語ではなしました。 一つ目は、友だちの家庭がうまくいっていないという話。 二つ目は、目が一週間痛くて病院に行ったら、まつげが刺さっていた話です。 カジュアルのほうは、まったくコントロールしていません。 本当の友だちとの話し方です。 全部聞こえなくても大丈夫です。 言葉や文法がどう変わるかと、「何を言うか」も変わることに注目してみてください。 友だちには「ダサ」と言えますが、職場の人には「心配ですね」と言います。 👇Learn N5 Immersion Program https://www.okkeijapanese.com/n5-program/ 👉Get the transcripts with furigana on Okkei Japanese website https://www.okkeijapanese.com/ 🔘Hi.
